In need of a kick-ass quote.

So basically I'm in need of a quote that will accompany my photo in the yearbook. I'm looking for something intelligent of course and sort of a 'holy shit' moment in your mind when you read it.
So far these are ones I've come upon and enjoyed:
"Vi Veri Universum Vivus Vici" Translation: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
^V for Vendetta
"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." - H.P. Lovecraft

Assuming of course that the photos will be lined up next to each other

Usually yearbook quotes aren't from the actual student; they're supposed to be indicative of their philosophy, or just a quote that they like.
Mine was
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
it was pretty great. also, Choose something that you really like, but try to avoid being pretentious about it, or years from now people will be giggling at their yearbooks at you.
This kind of uote is something you should choose for yourself in my opinion, searching for it is part of the fun.
EDIT: Found a good one by Friedrich Nietzsche. "A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions — as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all."

How about "Only the dead have seen the end of war", It's listed as a quote of Platos but there is no verification of that, so you could take it.

But seriously for your yearbook the ones you've picked seem a little too......whats the word.....EPIC! Only if your like king of the school should that quote be bestowed with your name.
A nice simple quote from a favorite movie of mine seems to fit this bill - We all start off as strangers, it's where we end up that counts.
I mean shit you were in school, we all start off as said strangers and wahla - look where your at!!!
My favorites are Mark Twain quotes. But I decided on:
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.
Kurt Cobain
It's very cock in your face, but I went to a Christian school and got in a lot shit for listening to Nirvana (seriously... long story, but it involves a suspension for listening to said band)
I don't know how they accepted that quote.
Also Catholic School so language more then likely wont fly.
I'm pretty sure this is from Book, not Jayne. At least that sounds like a more Book'ish quotation.
Also, don't do any latin - makes you look like a douchebag.
I really like Scooter's suggestion and I think it tops anything else in this thread.
Gertrude Stein
Well, it's up to you, really...But where I'm from a quote like that would warrant a good cock-punching
That gets my vote.
Honestly, though, this is supposed to be a personal thing, so you're better off finding something on your own. I will suggest that you find a quote that:
- you like;
- isn't in Latin;
- isn't from Fight Club;
- you won't be embarassed about in ten years.
'It’s just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then winder came and the grasshopper died. And the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a race car! Is any of this getting through to you?' - Phillip J. Fry
Jayne says that Book used to say it, IIRC.
Mark Twain
Actually Mark Twain has a lot of funny, amazing quotes.
Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge.
Mark Twain
Awww you mean no quotes like "I am Jack's colon." or "I am Jack's smirking revenge."
I know it hurts, but it's for the best. His other books are fair game, though.
Haha, middleschool... good times.
"Marriage is punishment for shoplifting in some countries."
Shit, this is hard =\
"I just don't believe there are two scoops of raisins.."
it worked. plain an simple
Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit
-Dennis Rodman
Cocky? I like it.
"Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight everything with fire"
I have to say, I'm not a fan of funny quotes so much, but this one... holy shit. I may just have to use it.
While it's no good for this context, one of my favorite MtG quotes was from Hill Giants or something like that.
"Fortunately, Hill Giants have large blind spots that are easy to hide in.
Unfortunately, these are under the bottoms of their feet."
or
"Hell, it's about time."
Alternately, You can have "Party on Wayne"
and then your best friend can have "Party on Garth"
